Hi,

 

The 144 is my favorite pen and I bought a lightly used gold pinstriped edition from a dealer on Ebay. See attached photos. I would like to know a little more about the pen (eg. likely timeframe, material) if anyone can share.

What a beautiful pen!!!

I am guessing 1980s and cant wait for the experts to speak up.

Could you show us the feed? And a writing sample.

I own a Bordeaux 144 with the same type of feed. My wife purchased it for me brand-new in 1991.

Your 144 looks sensational.

Very nice!

 

Is it vermeil? For the solitaire pattern, i prefer pinstriped than barley

Vermeil or solid gold. You have to look carefully at the inscriptions at the barrel and cap. In any case a nice pen with good weight for long writing sessions :).

It's a standard pattern and made for a long period since the early 1980s.

And if it was bought before Pentecost 1992 the basic material is brass with a gold plating. On the big event "New Dimension" at Pentecost 1992 in Berlin Montblanc launched the Vermeil versions. Btw. Montblanc never made a 144 in solid yellow gold with this pinstripe pattern.

So due to the feed and no embossing I'd say your pen was fabricated between ≠1986 and 1992. The clip might be a later version from an after sale service?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
